A transfer of Kuril islands ownership to China would work like a charm.
Whatever it takes to stop US bully is good.
simple coordinated complete trade embargo and US goes straight into 3rd world country status and stops harrassing world for good
Russia's kangaroo courts are laughable. They should get back to locking up old women and middle schoolers who speak out against the war.
Russia retaliates against ICC over Putin arrest warrant
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/russia-retaliates-against-icc-over-152000418.html
Russia has launched criminal proceedings against Karim Khan, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, as well as judges Tomoko Akane, Rosario Salvatore Aitala, and Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez, according to a statement released on March 20 via the agency’s Telegram press service.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation deemed the warrant for Putin’s arrest as “illegal” and found no grounds to prosecute the Russian dictator.
The statement continued, “The Kremlin saw several crimes in the actions of the prosecutors at the International Criminal Court, including the unjust prosecution of an obviously innocent individual, coupled with an unlawful allegation of involvement in a serious or particularly severe crime, as well as the preparation for an assault on a representative of a foreign state that is under international protection, aimed at complicating international relations.”
The judges of the ICC are reportedly about to be accused of “unlawful imprisonment” of Putin.
The International Criminal Court in The Hague issued arrest warrants on March 17 for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Russia’s children’s ombudsman, Maria Lvova-Belova, alleging their involvement in the unlawful removal of children from Ukraine to the Russian Federation since Feb. 24, 2022.
The Kremlin dictator can be arrested on the territory of 123 countries that have ratified the Rome Statute, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Andriy Kostin, said.
According to the Office of the President of Ukraine, the court’s ruling implies that there will be no negotiations with the present Russian leadership and no lifting of sanctions.

Russia Threatens to Blow Up ICC With Hypersonic Missile
https://www.newsweek.com/russia-medvedev-icc-hypersonic-missile-putin-arrest-warrant-1788805
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued an ominous warning on Monday, suggesting that Russia could strike the International Criminal Court (ICC) with a hypersonic missile in response to its decision to issue an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin.
Attempts to try Putin in the ICC would have "monstrous" consequences for international law, Medvedev, deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, said in a statement on his Telegram channel.
The ICC, which is based in The Hague in the Netherlands, concluded on Friday that the Russian leader had committed war crimes in his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which started almost 13 months ago, citing the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children. It marked the first time that an arrest warrant has been issued against the leader of one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.
"The ICC judges got excited in vain. Look, they say, we are brave, and we raised a hand against the largest nuclear power without c******* ourselves," wrote Medvedev.
"Alas, gentlemen, everyone walks under God and rockets. It is quite possible to imagine the targeted use of a hypersonic 'Onyx' from the North Sea from a Russian ship at the Hague courthouse," he went on, referring to a naval cruise missile.
"And the court is just a miserable international organization, not the population of a NATO country. That's why they won't start a war. They will be afraid. And no one will feel sorry for them. So, judges of the court, look carefully into the sky…," Medvedev added.
When contacted by Newsweek, the ICC said: "The Court does not comment on alleged political statements."
The ICC's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, announced on March 2, 2022, that his office would be looking into possible war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine, after nearly 40 ICC member states put in a request for an investigation.
Officials and world leaders had been calling for Putin to be held accountable amid an increasing civilian death toll in Ukraine, just days after the Russian leader launched his full-scale invasion of the neighboring country.
On Friday, Khan announced that his office had identified the deportation of "at least hundreds of children taken from orphanages and children's care homes."
Given that Moscow does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction or extradite its nationals, it is highly unlikely that the Russian president will face trial at the ICC.
The issuance of the warrant means that the 123 member states of the ICC are obliged, if they have such an opportunity, and if the person against whom the decision was made is on their territory, to arrest the individual concerned and transfer them to the ICC in The Hague.
It is uncertain how many children have been taken forcibly to Russia. However, in February, a report from the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab alleged that in the past year at least 6,000 children from Ukraine had been sent to Russian "re-education" camps.

Let's take a look at the reality for Russia in Ukraine. Considering that Putin can only provide his troops with rusting unsafe ammunition and many are armed with sticks & shovels -- this impending total collapse is hardly surprising.
Russia Facing Total 'Collapse' In Ukraine By End Of The Year, Claims Top General
https://knewz.com/russia-facing-total-collapse-in-ukraine-by-end-of-the-year-claims-top-general/
Commanding General Ben Hodges, who served in the United States Army in Europe, claims that Russia would not be able to sustain the battle of attrition in Ukraine.
This coincides with the assessment of military professional Marcus M. Keupp, head honcho at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
Russian forces have been facing difficult odds in Ukraine, suffering heavy losses and equipment shortages amid an ongoing conflict with Ukrainian troops and Western military aid pouring into the country.
In an interview with German news outlet t-Online, Keupp stated that Ukrainian forces might soon gain an advantage over Russian forces in the ongoing war.
Bakhmut has been the focus of the most recent warfare, providing a clear indication of the devastating effect of a war of attrition.
With consistent financial and military aid flooding in from the West, Russian forces have faced a variety of obstacles.
In the face of increasing losses, Keupp agreed and stated that Bakhmut is a typical example of a war of attrition.
He continued to say: "The current situation in Bakhmut particularly symbolizes this fact. A look at the numbers makes this clear: In order to take the city, the Russian leadership sends out battalions in mindless frontal attacks, and the units are quickly shot up," per Daily Star.
Hodges echoed these sentiments: "Russia is being attrited at such a rate that they may collapse before the end of this year, assuming the West delivers in time what we've promised. War is a test of will and logistics," via Twitter.
Russia's logistical setbacks, as alluded to by Hodges, are corroborated by Russia's desperate innovations as seen in their recent release of their "Franken Tanks" and Wagner boss complaints of not receiving sufficient supplies on the front lines.

That would result in an attack by NATO. If there is one thing Putin surely does not wishes, it is a war against NATO.
Apparently the circle around Putin has huge braindamage, or maybe they even don't have a brain at all.
